We were camped off of Manastash Ridge Road outside of Ellensburg. We did make it over to Funny and Moon rocks for a couple of comps but we spent most of the time a little further north.
It was a pretty fun setup. We did tech check in on Friday right before the snow started coming down. Saturday morning the drivers meeting was at 7:00 and line-up to leave was at 8:00. There were 4 loops designed, we only finished the first 3 though. At 9:00 PM the loops where closed and you could pick up the instructions for the night challenge. You where given a list of GPS cords to find a set of buckets, similar to a Geocache setup. We were making pretty good progress on the search when my fuel pump died and I had to be pulled back and called it a day 4 hours early at 2:00 am.
Favorite Challenge - Speed run. There was a course that needed to be run with an average speed of 2.5 minutes. I was 3 minutes on the dot after a small accident but I think my partner (Matt in a Jeep TJ) made up the difference. The Winch obstacle and Funny Rocks obstacle were great as well.
Lease Favorite - Road Rally. SJ wasn't really made for 30 miles of pavement at 50 miles an hour...
Final tally was a bent tie rod bar (speed run, slid through a corner and into a stump), fuel pump, and speedo is no longer working. Not bad at all.
They just put up the results. Took 8th. That is with the worst score for Loop 2, not starting loop 3 and having to stop the night flag search 4.5 hours early.
-Edit- Pictures are up as well. Some good ones of me heading up the crack. Mostly.
